Welfare & Benevolence Ministry
Following James' teaching that "pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction" (James 1:27), our welfare ministry demonstrates Christ's love through compassionate care and practical support for those in need.
Biblical Foundation
Our commitment to caring for those in need is rooted in Christ's example and the clear teachings of Scripture about our responsibility to help others.
Pure Religion
"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world."James 1:27
Love in Action
"But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth."1 John 3:17-18
Caring for All
"So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith."Galatians 6:10
Christ's Example
"And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction."Matthew 9:35
